Section 2: Green Economy Transition

The Green Economy Transition (GET)

10

Since 2006 the EBRD has adopted cross-sectorial strategies:

• to mainstream across the Bank’s projects, and

• to increase the share of the Bank’s business with measures which

enhance the efficient use of energy and resources (water,

materials) and contribute to limiting the effects of climate change.

Green projects can be from the following areas:

Energy efficiency

Renewable energy

Water efficiency

Resilience to climate change

Waste minimisation and material efficiency

Pollution control and environmental compliance

The Finance and Technology Transfer Centre

for Climate Change (FINTECC) facilitates

technology transfer to private companies in

countries where advanced solutions have

low market penetration rates.

FINTECC grants cover up to 25% of the costs of

eligible technologies. Examples include:

• Tri-generation, high-grade thermal insulation,

heat pumps, energy efficient cooling systems,

• Water recycling systems and advanced irrigation

• Carbon dioxide recovery systems, by-pass dust

recycling, other material saving technologies in

manufacturing.

FINTECC is supported with technical assistance

assignments such as:

• Energy and resource audits to enhance

companies’ green investment plans

• Ascertaining that financed technologies are

eligible for FINTECC grants

• Assessments of local technology markets and

building of knowledge sharing networks.

Currently active in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Egypt, Jordan,

Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Ukraine.

CLIENT AND PROJECT

A loan to State Unitary Enterprise KMK on-lent to seven

North Tajik water companies to fund priority capital

investments and improve municipal water supply in the

cities of Chkalovsk, Gafurov, Isfara, Kanibaidam,

Karaikkum, Khorog and Taboshar. The project supports

also improvements in financial and operational

management of water utilities through activities such as

installation of individual water meters, tariff reforms and

development of public service agreements.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

EBRD loan: € 7.3 million

of which GET adaptation € 4.0 million

SECO grant: € 7.3 million

GEF grant: € 2.0 million

Total Project Value: € 16.50 million

* This project has helped to develop replicable approaches for other municipal water projects in climate sensitive countries.

CLIMATE RESILIENCE MEASURES

• Provision of critical infrastructure, including supply network,

metering and operations equipment

• Technical capacity development for water companies and

municipalities on adapting to climate change combine with

improvements in corporate planning and fulfilment of

national and international environmental and social

standards

• Stakeholder participation and awareness raising activities

focused on climate change risks to end-users.

Lower carbon footprint for Belarusian toys

26

CLIENT AND PROJECTA leading integrated producer of children’s plastic

toys and games in Belarus. It is one of the major

exporters of toys to Russia.

The EBRD is supporting energy efficiency upgrades

at its main manufacturing site, and helping the

company to strengthen its balance sheet given

weaker recent macroeconomic performance in its

main outlet markets.

INVESTMENT PLANEBRD loan (in local currency and US$) € 10 million

of which finance for

sustainable energy measures € 2.4 million

FINTECC grant support for adopting

advanced technologies € 0.36 million

TRIGENERATION SOLUTIONThe loan supports the installation of a combined

cooling, heat and power plant (CCHP) to supply

these services throughout the year. It will use two

1.2MWe engines and a 1MW absorption chiller.

The CCHP has an IRR of 48% and a payback period

of 2 years. The plant and the wider energy use

optimisation potential of the company were reviewed

via an audit funded by the Central European

Initiative.

GREEN ECONOMY IMPACTAnnual natural gas consumption savings of 24,100 MWh

and annual electricity savings of around 3,000 MWh.

Emission reductions of 7,500 tCO2 per year, which are

equivalent to the footprint of 1,900 Belarussian

households.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER SUPPORTThe CCHP benefits from partial grant from EBRD’s Finance

and Technology Transfer Centre for Climate Change

programme.

FINTECC is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

It aims to accelerate the uptake of advanced resources

efficiency technologies in countries with low market

penetration levels.

Supporting greener beverages in the Kyrgyz Republic

27

CLIENT AND PROJECT

Bear Beer, a leading Kyrgyz beer and bottled water

producer benefitted from EBRD financing for the

purchase of necessary soft drinks and beer brewing

equipment to modernise water and beverage

production. EBRD will assist in implementing:

• Energy management system

• CO2 recovery system

• High efficiency steam boiler

• Energy efficient equipment

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

EBRD finance : € 7 million

FINTECC grant: € 0.1 million

Other finance: € 12.1 million

Total Project Value : € 19.2 million

PROJECT IMPACT

• Climate technology has driven down energy costs

and greenhouse gas emissions by 700 tonnes of

CO2 per year.

• The savings made from its investment in energy

efficient equipment has made the business more

competitive.

• Environmental, health and safety standards will

improve to a level beyond current industry

practice (e.g., environmental/health and safety

management system will be implemented,

international certification such as ISO14001 will

be obtained, BAT equipment installed, etc.)
